One of the questions for Houston Democrat and Railroad Commission candidate Jon Rosenthal in May, following Jim Wright’s defeat against Bo French, was whether he could pick up where Wright managed to make gains.

EV returns in South Texas show he’s certainly made inroads. Look at Nueces (75% of EV returns) and Cameron (70% of EV returns), counties Wright led that Rosenthal has now picked up. In counties neighboring the DFW area, Wood, Smith and Parker counties, French is up by wide margins. French has also an overwhelming EV lead in Midland County, where he’s from.
